Method for operating a mobile device to control a main Unit in playing a video game

Abstract

A method for operating a mobile device to control a main unit in playing a video game by boosting a predetermined execute program in the main unit and starting up the mobile device for enabling the main unit to search the mobile device and to make a wireless connection so that the user can give an instruction to the main unit through the mobile device by hand gesture, voice or touch control, controlling the main unit to run the boosted game program and to display the video subject to communication between a wireless transmission module of the mobile device and a wireless transmitter and receiver module of the main unit and a recognition step by comparing the inputted signal to multiple 3D space hand gesture signal data in a database by a processing unit of the main unit.

1 . A method for operating a mobile device to control a main unit in playing a video game, said mobile device comprising a processor, a control module, a wireless transmission module, said control module comprising a sensor for sensing the hand gestures of a person, said main unit comprising a processing unit, a database, a wireless transmitter and receiver module, a search module, a display screen, a voice recognition module, a keyboard and a mouse, said database having stored therein multiple 3D space hand gesture signal data (X, Y, Z 3-axis data), the method comprising the steps of:
 (a) boosting a predetermined execute program that is built in said main unit and starting up said mobile device to enable said wireless transmission module to transmit a startup signal to said wireless transmitter and receiver module of said main unit;   (b) said wireless transmitter and receiver module of said main unit transmits said startup signal received from said wireless transmission module of said mobile device to said processing unit to enable said processing unit to search said mobile device by means of said search module;   (c) said main unit establishing a link to said mobile device, and then the user selecting a predetermined game program through said mobile device to enable the selection signal to be transmitted through said wireless transmission module to said wireless transmitter and receiver module of said main unit;   (d) said main unit boosting the selected predetermined game program subject to the selection signal received from said mobile device to enable said mobile device to control the execution and running of the game program;   (e) said control module of said mobile device controlling said sensor to scan the user's 3D space X, Y, Z 3-axis hand gesture instruction;   (f) said sensor of said mobile device generating a control signal to said processor subject to the hand gesture instruction scanned to enable said processor to transmit the control signal to said wireless transmitter and receiver module of said main unit via said wireless transmission module;   (g) said wireless transmitter and receiver module of said main unit transmitting the control signal received from said wireless transmission module of said mobile device to said processing unit;   (h) said processing unit comparing the control signal to the multiple 3D space hand gesture signal data in said database for recognition;   (i) the game system of said mobile device and said main unit proceeding to step (j) when the comparison result shows a match, or returning to step (e) when no any match is obtained.   (j) said processing unit controlling said main unit to run the action of the content of the game program subject to the control signal received, and driving said display screen to display the mode under execution;   (k) said processing unit of said main unit determining whether or not said main unit keeps linking to said mobile device, and then the game system returning to step (e) when said main unit keeps linking to said mobile device, or proceeding to step (l) when said main unit is disconnected from said mobile device;   (l) said game program being ended, and said main unit resuming to the predetermined execute program.   
     
     
         2 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said main unit is a computer, game console or server; the predetermined execute program built in said main unit is a booster program or start-up program for starting up a game. 
     
     
         3 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said predetermined game program is an intelligence game program selected from a group of Chinese chess game, Go game, Gobang game and jumping chess game, or a sports game selected from a group of boxing game, tennis game, baseball game, basket ball game, volleyball game, sumo game, rowing game, archery game, racing game, high jump game and broad jump game. 
     
     
         4 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said mobile device is a cell phone, PDA, game grip, joystick or remote controller. 
     
     
         5 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said mobile device further comprises a microphone for voice input, a speaker for voice output, and an input unit for touch control signal input. 
     
     
         6 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said sensor of said control module of said mobile is one of gravity sensor, acceleration sensor and gyro sensor. 
     
     
         7 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said hand gesture instruction according to step (e) and step (f) is the motion made by the user in a 3D space (x-axis, y-axis, z-axis) within a predetermined time interval, a voice signal or a touch-control input signal. 
     
     
         8 . The method as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the motion made by the user in a 3D space (x-axis, y-axis, z-axis) within a predetermined time interval is a fist blow action, swinging action, pushing action, circling round action, sliding action or jumping action. 
     
     
         9 . The method as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the touch-control input signal is a signal of a clicking action or touch control action to input an instruction. 
     
     
         10 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the multiple 3D space hand gesture signal data in said database according to step (h) and step (i) includes the signal of the motion of a fist blow in a 3D space, the signal of the motion of a swinging action in a 3Dspace, the signal of the motion of a pushing action in a 3D space, the signal of the motion of a circling round action in a 3D space, the signal of the motion of a sliding action in a 3D space, the signal of the motion of a jumping action in a 3D space, the signal of a clicking action to input an instruction, the signal of a touch control action to input an instruction and the signal of an action in a 3D space inputted by voice.
